One day, a high school girl “Nao Tomori”, approaches him and convinces him to join her school. This school is accepting to all the supernatural powers that these adolescent children contain unlike the society. As they begin saving all the students with this problem one by one, Yuu decides to keep his power a secret from his sister “Ayumi Otasaka”. But as soon as the dust reaches her as well everything goes wrong.

Review:

This anime is not actually very unique in the sense that everyone has powers, everyone keeps it a secret and everyone has limitations. The characters themselves aren’t very unique either compared to most anime’s I see. I must applaud the animation and the quality of the anime and such a fun opening. The anime is great to watch when you want to pass some time. It’s nothing to really fanboy/fangirl over. If I must say, the anime is quite dry in it’s whole plot. There wasn’t ENOUGH drama for me. The anime had its ups and downs. It is quite entertaining throughout but honestly not even worth recommending. It is a good anime but I guess only a one time watch. Not my worst, not even close to my best. More negatives than positives definitely. Overall below average.
